Edwards-Freeman Nut Co

First time at store and it was amazing I found everything o was looking for plus so much more… I packed the family stockings with old style candy and new and they loved it

Great place for snacks-​nuts, candy, jams, spices, honey, etc. Has awesome no salt added natural peanut butter. Like an old fashioned barrel grocer type store. Great selection of all sorts of goodies including hard to find raw honey and dark chocolate. Lots of old time candies and huge 1ft. gummy snakes to send your kids into sugar shock. Great old fashioned place but was a little pricey. I can get the same honey for $ 2 less closer to home. One thing I didn’t like was the front door locking behind you — you have to go all the way around to get out… or to go back out for a forgotten wallet, etc. I would think that would be a fire hazard, especially with the really narrow isles. I’d would rather shop here than support a corporate health food or grocery store. This was a great find on my lunch hour!

I’ve been here twice and I look forward to my next visit. I really do adore this oldtime shop. While they seemingly carry everything from hot sauce to dried fruit, the candy is what really floats my boat. The selection is extensive and incredibly fresh. I usually go for the sour cola bottle gummies and a bag of chocolate covered *enter food here*. I recently picked up a gift basket of Italian cookies for the holidays which was very reasonably priced. I also managed to find some highly sought-​after Teaberry gum for my mom’s stocking stuffer. She’s raved about as her favorite gum as a kid and it is very hard to find. Highly recommend checking this place out, it’s really incredible and it will bring out the kid in you.

Edwards-​Freeman is simply one of the best candy/​nut/​snack stores in the world. Since 1899 it has purveyed one of the largest assortments of goodies you’ll ever find under one roof. And it’s open seven days a week. My favorite item here is the home-​ground peanut butter. I have no idea what your favorite would be but I’m pretty sure you can find something you like here!

Candy. Milk chocolate candy. Dark chocolate candy. Vanilla chocolate candy. Gummy bears. Gummy straws. Gummy slices. Gummy sharks. Gummy worms. Gumdrops. Gummy coins. Gummy this, gummy that. Sour patch kids. Sour patch animals. Sour patch slices. Sour patch… Everything. Nostalgic candy. Hard candy, soft candy. Trail mix, nuts, chocolate nuts, candied nuts. NUTS. Spices. Jams. Jellies. Honeys. Gum. Mint gum, strawberry gum, watermelon gum, sour apple gum… Basically all your candy/​nut needs can be handled here.

I’m sorta glad that I worked down the street for an entire year before I discovered this place. My wallet and my waistline thank me!
But now that I HAVE discovered Edwards Freeman, I know where my go-​to place will be for snacks and candies. I always need to keep my desk drawer filled with a mix of healthy snacks (nuts, trailmix, dried fruit) and not-​so-​healthy snacks (caramels, chocolates, root beer barrels). Edwards Freeman has all of that and more! No more trips up the hill to Giant for me!
I was most impressed by the large selection here. They literally have every type of candy you can dream of. I was half expecting Gene Wilder in a purple velvet suit to jump out of a corner. They also have a wide variety of nuts, dried fruits, and spices.
Price wise, it’s probably on par or maybe a bit higher than prices at a supermarket/​drug store (with the exception of spices, which are ridiculously cheap). But you are supporting a local business and getting a higher quality product. This store is awfully cramped, so I would recommend visiting on off-​peak hours to make your shopping experience more enjoyable. This place is a MUST VISIT when in Conshy!

*They don’t do coupons, even though it’s «advertised”*
this place is nice! all your cooking/​baking needs. Plus «fresh» peanut butter spread (and nutella). And, Of course all the chocolate and candy from like the last 5 decades. Stuff I didn’t even know about!
I’d say it’s relatively very cheap for local, fresh, ‘gourmet’ chocolate. And I like their chocolates. Not love. but definitely will be going there often to get something ‘different’

Tucked away in a mostly residential corner of Conshohocken is this treasure of a store. It’s been here forever, it seems, and carries candies that will likewise transport you back in time.
Remember the days when candy cigarettes and little bottles of alcoholic chocolates were de regeur? You know, back when people would laugh at the idea of buying a bottle of water when there was perfectly good water coming out of the water fountains. Yes, back then. Well, Edwards Freeman still has the chocolates AND the candy cigarettes, along with Red Hots, Clark Bars, ribbon candy, Jordan Almonds and just about every «old» fancy candy you saw in your grandmother’s candy dish. They also carry nuts, chocolate for baking, candy making, and just consuming, candies from overseas, Torrone (really good Torrone!), a selection of hot sauces, dog treats and some, ahem, naughty candies for those bachelor/​ette parties or whatever (remember candy necklaces? Well, picture candy bikini top or thong and you get the idea).
It’s not a beautiful store, it’s cramped and pretty no frills. The staff is helpful but busy. You will find an extensive selection of candies and chocolates and nuts so much that you will have to practice restraint or go broke.
Going to Edwards Freeman, well, It’s like being a kid in a candy store! Oh wait, you ARE a kid in the candy store there!

We come here every year after Christmas, probably about ten years running. The store itself is great – its wide selection and old-​time atmosphere make for a great local candy store amidst lifeless retail giants. They carry a plethora of dried fruits, salty snacks, chocolates and gift baskets – including all the stuff your parents used to get when they were kids. They failed to honor the 10% check-​in discount I received, which I wasn’t pleased with. They told us it was placed on their Unilocal account without authorization… considering my family spent about $ 200, I would’ve liked to have been given that discount anyway. I won’t fault them for that too much, however. A must stop for both visitors and residents alike.

Wow-​this place is great! The candy lover’s fantasy land. Also, lots of very good sugar free chocolate and the best peanut butter I’ve ever had. I make a point of getting here every time I am in the area. There are lots of dried fruits as well, which comes in handy on the road. There are also lots of old-​fashioned candies, like candy buttons on strips of paper. Lots of nostalgia here.

My family and I have been customers of this wonderful establishment for more than 30 years. This is the“go to” place to buy candies, nuts for special occasions or everyday goodness. I got married July 28, 2013, and desired to supplement the guest tables with candy dishes at my wedding reception. We ordered several pounds of assorted Asher’s milk and dark truffles and Swedish lentils. All of the candies were exceptionally delicious and were devoured by our guests. Mimi and Rob, thank you for «wowing» us with this chocolate perfection! We highly recommend you for any occasion!

I drive by this place all the time, and up until recently decided to go in. It is amazing! This has to be by far the best candy place in the Conshy area. I loved seeing the different things they do with chocolate, and the different sized bags of baking/​melting chocolate too. My weakness are the chocolate covered pretzels with all the M&Ms and things on them… yummy! You could get lost in there with everything they have on the shelves — you turn around, there’s something new to look at. I will definitely be back!

This place has everything from nuts to assorted hot sauces and candy from your childhood. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with any questions you may have. Checkout some of their nut butters!

This place will rocket you back to your childhood. They should video people’s reactions when they come across an old childhood fave– frequent gasps and OMGs are not uncommon. All of life should be so simply and immediately satisfying! In addition to the candy, there is an excellent selection of nuts, snacks, condiments, etc. Well worth a visit!

Best candy shoppe in the area, as good as any ive seen, … you know a place is old school when they still have the friggin strawberry charleston chews. Remember those things…
You name it they probably have it, if not they probably can get it. it SUCKS to park there though

I love the cashew butter (unsalted por favor!) here, and although I confess to being a diehard Skippy Extra Chunky fan, I do have a weakness for the fresh, chunky, unsalted PB here. It’s literally just full of crunchy peanuts, which I just love. The hazelnut pb is a must-​try if you like Nutella; it has a crunchier, more nutty taste and is not as sweet. Get a loaf of whole grain bread and just slather it on a slice or two for a satisfying snack. They also have a good selection of dried fruits, although I find that they are on par with the kinds at Trader Joe’s and more expensive. The dried pear is the only fruit that I tend to get here because it’s not too tough (Trader Joe’s is really almost leathery).
Since today was national PB & J day, I had to stop in to grab a jar of the chunky unsalted to go with the Smucker’s squeezable grape jelly at home. It was still warm and tasted fantastic when paired with a thin layer of grape jelly and a toasted slice of Arnold’s Multi-​Grain. Now that’s what I call a yummy dinner in celebration of a true American classic.

I grew up not far from here. This is the best place to get peanut butter, specialty nuts, old and new style candies and a myriad of other things that will bring back your childhood.
$ 10.99 for a 5lb tub of natural (no salt, no additives) peanutbutter? That alone should warrant your visit. An incredible down to earth staff, always willing to go out of their way to answer questions and even assist with carrying something out for you. How often do you pick up a tub of pb and it’s warm? Yeah buddy, the smell will bring you in, the quality will bring you back.
As if all that wasn’t enough, you’re supporting a longstanding small business.

While lunching at nearby Totoro’s, the owner of the restaurant happened to mention Edwards Freeman. My dad said he was familiar but had never stopped in, so we decided to make a post-​lunch visit for something sweet.
Within the first five minutes, my dad was picking up ridiculous items like candy deviled eggs with the good intentions of giving them to my stepmom. Cute, but I was thinking she might be more interested in some non-​novelty candy, so he eventually settled on licorice and a couple other items which I suspect may not have made it back to Jersey at all.
The intoxicating smell of the confections and wall to wall options would make anyone smile, but I think the thing that made me most giddy was the wall of jimmies (sprinkles to everyone outside of South Jersey). I’m talking every color of the rainbow. I’m totes coming back for some of those the next time I want to make homemade cupcakes even more special. In the meantime, my chocolate-​covered raisins are treating me quite nicely.

Been coming here for decades and not much has changed… which is a good thing. Have a yearning for… Wilbur Buds (no not that ripoff cheap bland product called Hershey Kisses)? They got ‘em. Got a hankerin for shelled, roasted pistachio nuts? Got them too. In fact, they have just about every nut and confection you can think of. It is old school in that many of the nuts and candies are in bins and either you or the counter guy put your amounts together.
Cramped, over stocked aisles make moving about a challenge when they are busy, and service can sometimes be slow at the sole cash register. But if you are in the area and must have jumbo cashews then check it out.

My husband grew up about half a block from Edwards-Freeman’s and couldn’t believe that I’d never been to «The Peanut Factory.» After I walked in the doors, I understood why. Anyone who doesn’t understand the phrase «like a kid in a candy shop» should take a trip to Edwards-Freeman’s. You’ll understand immediately.
When you walk in, you see the nuts, and the peanut butters, and then rows and rows and rows of shelving FILLED with bags of all the loose candy you remember from growing up. And where the rows end, the barrels begin. And as you go to check out, you see all the prepackaged candy. From candy cigarettes to candy sticks to big league chew. Add in their chocolates and spices and pretzels… There’s literally something for everyone here. Looks like I know where I’m going today :)
